0:00.0 | Hello friends, just a quick word of encouragement. I've been running a lot. Running has been an amazing |
0:15.1 | outlet to keeping my mind clear, processing all of the emotions that had inevitably come |
0:21.8 | up in the season of transition. And in my running, I have been listening to sermons |
0:28.3 | every once in a while. You need not be a person who is a believer to get the thing I am going |
0:32.4 | to share with you today. But there's a pastor named Stephen Fertic who I've been listening |
0:38.7 | to quite a bit of. And there was something in my run the other day that just man struck |

1:44.8 | that inflicts the most damage. It's the secondary storm that we create in reaction to the storm |
1:54.2 | that has found its way into our life that actually is the thing that derails us, that throws |
1:59.4 | us off track, that makes our situation worse than it needs to be. And what is a secondary |
2:06.3 | storm? Right? A secondary storm is getting stuck in negative self-talk. A secondary storm |
2:12.3 | is getting out of good routine. A secondary storm is choosing to drink as a coping mechanism |
2:19.2 | instead of moving your body. A secondary storm is the things that we as humans sometimes find |
